Emily rose to fame in 2015 when she appeared as a contestant on Sam Wood’s season of The Bachelor Australia.

She memorably stormed off the set of the show during a rose ceremony to avoid being eliminated by Sam.

After the series wrapped, the 36-year-old publicly lashed out at Channel Ten and accused them of portraying her as a villain through selective editing.
